Show my buildings

October 12, 2009, 02:28:21 pm

I would like to propose a feature (command or tool option) by which I can highlight buildings or, at least, the tiles where there are buildings and infrastructure of my ownership.

After I have bought several houses, built roads in cities and more other things, it's almost impossible to distinguish what is mine from what is not.

Tiles with my properties built on would be highlighted like "block reservation" does.

That's all.

Usually yes - but it's not in pak128 yet.

But you can modify your own menuconf.tab:

You should just need a line similar to this (taken from pak64):

Code: [Select]

general_tool[35]=,,11,K

... but menuconf.tab is tricky to handle - so unless you really know how it works (or have enough time&patience to figure it out) I wouldn't really recommend it - certainly nothig for ST beginners (which you are not Fabio, but some other readers maybe)!

I don't know anything about this. Could have missed that... I will take a look ~~tomorrow~~ today when I wake up

Probably new button for menuconf is all it needs. As in, some neat graphic! The code comes pretty much for free.

As far as I can tell no button in pak64 either - just a keyboard shortcut.

I just added it to the pak128 svn, too - should be in next nightly then.

THe keyboard shortcut was not supposed to be in pak64 stable. It will go for the stable version, I think.

But it won't go completely, it will just become a button instead of a key, right?

I think I remove it completely, as it is clearly of no purpose to 99,5% of the players. Or use an obcure schortcut with control.
